Sometime I feel very busy with life...ok, maybe not just sometime.
But I do believe that it is great to stop and think about what truly matters.
Often around Thanksgiving, people become more aware of the "being thankful", but I prefer not to limit it to just a month of the year.
Today I was inspired to make a Thanksgiving
table runner.
With canvas dropcloth and burlap ribbon.
I sew a dropcloth strip of about 15 inches wide and 5 feet long.
I then added a burlap strip with finished edges.
I wrote on it give thanks,
because I can surely use that reminder from time to time.
Stay Frugal,
Daniela
***and I might have sew an extra one (or two)***

That is BEAUTIFUL. So simple yet definitely a statement piece. Did write/paint that by hand without any stencil or anything? I can only assume, knowing you that you did. I am impressed.
I just love burlap. It looks really good with your dropcloth. The runner turned out beautifully, and I like what you wrote.
XOXO,
Meredith

So pretty in its simplicity!
How cute! I agree that thankfulness should be a focus year round and not just at Thanksgiving.
I LOVE that runner!! I have been looking for one everywhere and I don't like anything. And it's not too expensive. Thanks for sharing!
Que guapa!!
I just love burlap, and we sure need a reminder to give thanks! love it!
Once again, your lettering impresses. Your art school training shines!

Very pretty and I like the lettering. I am a fairly new follower and I make sure I try and be thankful everyday of my life. Not to sound smug but we have lost loved ones in our lives at very young ages. I tried to be grateful all the time!! I hope you can visit Cloches and Lavender and take a look around and decide to follow me back.

I think we can all use that reminder from time to time! Love your table runner...it's simple and beautiful!
That's a very pretty and unique table runner! You always think of the neatest things to sew. It's a good idea to be thankful year round. It will keep us happier for sure!
Very nice Dani! I just did some table runners too! It is that time of year I guess! Thankful I am getting to meet you tomorrow!See you soon!
Bellissimo questo runner, daniela. Complimenti ! Perfetto per questa stagione...
Friend! I LOVE this. It looks so sharp. It's our Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend, I wish I had something fancy pants like that. Did you use a marker or what to write on the burlap? Is it tricky to write on?
I love your table runner. I was curious if you added anything else to your store and was so surprised to see so many new items just since I was there last. You really are busy I don't know where you find the time for everything you do with a family.

Love this! The ribbon is simple but makes a big impact (with a great thought behind it!)

I think, you are right, we do need to remember to be thankful all year long.
I love it Daniela!!
So simple and elegant. Did you free hand the "give thanks" because it looks so pretty! I'm so impressed! I do have a question for you, on my latest post I was asking people who have Etsy shops if they have any advice for new shop owners and I noticed you have a shop. Any wise words to share? I've had my shop open for 2 weeks now. Thanks!
Love it! It can be used any time!
That is so pretty! What a great idea.
Have a wonderful day!!
What a lovely table runner. You gave me a great idea for some upholstery webbing I found.

I love this idea and so pretty too. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
Dearest Daniela,
What a noble idea!
Yes, we have many reasons to give thanks.
For living in this country, for our access to good (though expensive...) health care. I am grateful I had major surgery here and am healing now. Hugs,
Mariette
What a pretty table runner and great reminder for everyone to see.
